Inspired by the W.B. Yeats poem that tempts a child from home to the waters and the wild, "The Stolen Child" is a modern fairy tale narrated by the child Henry Day and his double.""On a summer night, Henry Day runs away from home and hides in a hollow tree. There he is taken by the changelings--an unaging tribe of wild children who live in darkness and in secret. They spirit him away, name him Aniday, and make him one of their own. Stuck forever as a child, Aniday grows in spirit, struggling to remember the life and family he left behind. He also seeks to understand and fit in this shadow land, as modern life encroaches upon both myth and nature. In his place, the changelings leave a double, a boy who steals Henry's life in the world. This new Henry Day must adjust to a modern culture while hiding his true identity from the Day family. But he can't hide his extraordinary talent for the piano (a skill the true Henry never displayed), and his dazzling performances prompt his father to suspect that the son he has raised is an imposter. As he ages the new Henry Day becomes haunted by vague but persistent memories of life in another time and place, of a German piano teacher and his prodigy. Of a time when he, too, had been a stolen child. Both Henry and Aniday obsessively search for who they once were before they changed places in the world. "The Stolen Child" is a classic tale of leaving childhood and the search for identity. With just the right mix of fantasy and realism, Keith Donohue has created a bedtime story for adults and a literary fable of remarkable depth and strange delights.

童年,之于一个人,是怎样的一段时光? 我想,那是用来尽情犯错的,因为会有很长的路让你去弥补改正,而且谁会谴责一个孩子的淘气。 Steal Or Escape ? 这只是客观与主观的变换,既然你选择对现实不满,毅然逃离,那不妨就用一世纪的光阴来当个筹码。 时间不会为一个你逗留,...
評分小说与Yeats的诗作《The Stolen Child》同名,写的同样是人间的孩子和精灵的互动,不过此仙岛非彼仙岛,既没有藏满浆果和樱桃的魔桶,也没有波浪般跳动的月光;既没有迷人的玫瑰园,也没有砂砾上古老的舞步;岁月并不迷人无忧,相反,充满了漫长而不堪忍受的等待。孩子也并非是...
